1363 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The 6-unit, 3-story Old Law Tenement building at 1363 Greene Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Tom Rosenberg and constructed in 1931, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues over the past two years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water incidents, with the most recent occurring in December 2024 affecting the entire building, though heat and hot water were reportedly restored during HPD's response. The building has faced recurring pest problems, with multiple violations issued in 2024-2025 for rodent and cockroach infestations, particularly in apartment 3R.

There were also significant safety concerns in early 2025, including issues with fire escapes, carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and window guards, all of which were categorized as emergencies and closed following resolution. The building's history includes several infrastructure and safety maintenance challenges, including multiple unsanitary conditions related to pests (with violations issued in February 2024), flooring issues, and window frame problems. A concerning pattern of rodent activity has been documented through various inspections, with the most recent passing inspection occurring in June 2025.

The property has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations from 2019 through 2024. In 2018, there was an ECB violation related to unauthorized construction work in the cellar area, though this was subsequently resolved. While many violations have been addressed through official closure, the frequency and variety of issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
